Cranky Jank

Jank is a crank today; her hair messed up locks.
Crabby with the tabby on the block; mixed up socks.
Stay out of her way; ego trippin' attitude.
Missed the bus on the way to work; moody and lewd.

Jank is a crank today; flopped down hard on the couch.
Ran out of sugar for coffee; mixed up emotional grouch.
Dropped her phone on the cement; ten short on rent.
Forgot to pay her car note; now her money is all spent.

Jank was a crank today; looked within for a lift-up.
Went out to pet the cat; pulled her socks up.
Took a long walk; and had a convo with her soul.
Sat on the bench on her route; apologized for being low.

We have had those days when everything went wrong from the time we got out of bed. A good walk certainly helps in changing our mood. Well written and it made me chuckle.

Fab piece Frankii, really loved how it just superbly rolled along and making us glad we don't have a day like Jank! Trust all is well at your end, here in Scotland it's dreary and wet. Gordon
